Okay the dude just called back from Lake District Backpackers, we have to book for three nights (fine by me since I'll be a jobless bum then anyway but I know other folk need to consider family and work), and it's £18.95 per person, per night. There's one room with six bunks, two rooms with four bunks and a dinky one which I've already dibbed.
We've got until TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE LATEST to mither or we lose the booking. They want a 50% deposit upfront as it's a large booking, with the balance due at start of August.
TL;DR someone needs to take charge of payment (can do, that's fine), and deposits need to come in ASAP, preferably via bank transfer as that's how the lodge wants to be paid to avoid PayPal fees.
If this isn't suitable for anyone then can you please find an alternative with facilities for such a large group pl0x because I'm fooked.
Also everyone needs to confirm for definite if they're coming or not now.
